Ingestion of questions via API - LMS requirement
Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right space for this discussion so please advise on any forums you think may be better suited.
We have been looking for an LMS for the past 2 weeks, multiple demos with vendors, and emailing back and forth. Some vendors we looked at were Dugga, Talent LMS, Cloud Assess, Examsoft, and ProProfs.
We believed our use case was quite simple going into this, but based on my research, I realise that the ingestion of questions via API is not commonly supported in the LMS space. Therefore, we are considering staying with our current LMS (LearnUpon) unless we can find a tool that reduces costs and provides more automation.
The diagram above shows our ideal workflow (MCQ stands for multiple-choice questions).
Context: We prefer this workflow because we want our CMS (Kontent.ai) to remain the source of truth for all content. We don't want our authors to learn a new tool or switch between them.
Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions for tools that could support our ideal workflow.

Hi,
I would tell you to try MOODLE, an opensource LMS with infinite potential, first of all that of having a question repository from which to draw to create quizzes with settings like the ones you are looking for. If you have the chance I recommend you try it. I hope I understood your question well.

I made a workflow that probably fits the bill for you. Out of office till tuesday, will check and elaborate it more next week.
